HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIPS
It is our hope that healthcare groups, medical facilities and medical professionals will partner with us to enrich lives! Together, we can:
- Subsidise consultations and treatment.
- Make medication and supplies
readily available.
FUNDRAISING
Major fundraising events will be held twice a year. The funds will be allocated for the execution of our targets and objectives.
VOLUNTEERING
Our part-time volunteers will always be on hand to help with everything from manning our helpline to organising blood drives and fundraising events.
